Volunteer

Volunteers who give advice to our clients are at the heart of our service and we could not manage without them.

Volunteer advisers receive full training in the skills needed to help people deal with their problems and learn how to find the information the client needs from our extensive database. Volunteers are supported and supervised as they begin to give advice and will get feedback and development opportunities throughout their time with Citizens Advice. There are a variety of roles and tasks including fundraising, assessor, receptionist and trustee.

We are currently recruiting for trainee advisers and will be starting a new training programme in mid October. If you are interested in finding out more about this role click here. Please apply using the application form and send to wendy.fletcher@nscab.org.uk.

Closing date Wednesday 20th September.
